I write about this subject fairly often but one piece of caution, while we can attest to Scientific ‘facts’ almost all human described information is mediated through an unreliable narrator.

This problem, the hegemonic nature of calls to objectivity, would be my only slight criticism of a very interesting piece! I would also suggest people watch and read a number of additional pieces of valuable content (as the kids call it today):

Baudrillard: Simulation and Simulacra <a Book>

Kurusawa: Rashomon <a Movie>

Mr. Robot <a TV Show>

The Architect Scene in The Matrix 2 <a Movie>

I do enjoy contact too :)
